If We Run

In our fear we perish alone

far from the home we once knew

and the people we had been

in the time of dreams

and our youth


yet if we stand

if we face the dark

head on

it will relent

it will turn back


In our hope we find strength

closer to the truth we once believed

and the people we admired

in the time of passion

and our growth


if we walk

if we find a light

another angle

it may reveal

it may look new


In our discovery we find the lost

hidden in a past we had discarded

and the treasure we spurned

in the time of cleansing

and our renewal


if we run

perhaps we can capture

the good we forgot

the lessons we missed

along the way
